Hi, just wondering if there are any other members from western NY on here? I have been searching high and low for other sleevers who are from around here. I am from Rochester and I will be getting sleeved in mid December. My doctor is Dr. O'Malley.

I have found a lot of patients who have seen Dr. O'Malley but they were all for either lap band or gastric bypass. It actually started to worry me that there weren't any VSG patients. Just because I wonder his success rate with these patients in particular and I can't find anyone who has seen Dr. O'Malley for VSG. Hmm.....

I am from Jamestown NY and I will be having my surgery on 11/27/13 in Erie PA, DR Ali. I will be a revision from lap band to sleeve due to complications with the band.

Good luck Hallen with your up coming surgery!

dp81796 & longtimecoming7, how have you girls been feeling since having the surgery?

I'm excited to be having the surgery in another 3 more weeks but freaking out a bit on the inside too. I first decided to take this route and started this journey in May of this year. I probably had more appointments just over the summertime than I have ever had in my adult life!

Hi there! There were some Buffalo people on here, but everyone got quiet! I'm from Buffalo and was hoping to find some active WNY people with recent or upcoming dates to follow along with. There has to be more of us out there :)

I'm going in on 12/17.

I am from Buffalo, Ny! I was sleeved 10/8. Good luck!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
